In one of the most remarkable individual performances in professional soccer history, Southampton’s Sadio Mané managed to score three times on Aston Villa in less than three minutes. It’s still not the English league record, though. »5/16/15 8:14am 5/16/15 8:14am

There are a lot of really bad blog posts on the internet. Most days, it’s a good idea for everyone to just ignore the bad blog posts, because at root they are all just derivatives of the same style of incurious, inflammatory writing. But sometimes there is a blog so bad that it cannot be ignored, like the one that was… »4/28/15 10:48am 4/28/15 10:48am

OK, so first things first: the above man folded-up and leaned against the ropes like a lawn chair at a t-ball game is not dead. The accompanying video is not a snuff film. Let’s proceed. »4/22/15 10:53am 4/22/15 10:53am

We’re not even a week into the 2015 baseball season, but I feel confident saying that it’s going to be very hard for any outfielder to make a catch this season that will top what White Sox center fielder Adam Eaton did today. »4/09/15 5:03pm 4/09/15 5:03pm

The jockey you see getting smoked by a fence in the GIF above is named Lewis Ferguson (don't worry, he's not dead), and this happened during what was apparently his first-ever race with fences. Poor Lewis made some mistakes. »4/01/15 2:49pm 4/01/15 2:49pm

I've only ever been a casual snowboarder, but I've never gone up a mountain without thinking "Fuck, man, I hope I don't die in an avalanche today!" at least once. If you're anything like me, then this video is going to freak you out.»3/20/15 3:37pm 3/20/15 3:37pm

How freaking fierce is this 2015 Mint 400 crash!? A Class 1 buggy came off a big bump right next to the Vest Racing trophy truck, slamming it with just the right force and angle to send it careening into next week. Photog Eric Minks was perfectly positioned to shoot a whole roll of the action. »3/18/15 9:18pm 3/18/15 9:18pm

Northern Illinois center Pete Rakocevic threw down a dunk during Saturday night's game, and as Central Michigan forward John Simons went to inbound the ball, everyone realized that the hoop was slowly collapsing. Simons was quick enough to get out of the way, but that was frighteningly close. »3/01/15 4:04pm 3/01/15 4:04pm

This here video of an octopus exploding out of the shallows, moonwalking on land, grabbing a crab, and pulling it back underwater was shot in Australia just days ago, which means that there's a good chance this very octopus and others like it are still alive, which means that you and I and all of our loved ones are in…»2/23/15 2:58pm 2/23/15 2:58pm

Worcester City's Shab Khan—they play in Conference North, the sixth tier of English soccer—objected to a foul from Stockport County's Charlie Russell, and decided that the proper way to express his displeasure was to body slam Russell. You'll be shocked to learn that Khan earned himself a red card. »2/21/15 3:43pm 2/21/15 3:43pm

Police chases happen seemingly every day in the City of Angels, but here's a man fleeing police who wrecks his car, jumps out, and carjacks a bystander before driving away (on the wrong side of the road, naturally). He's still on the run (and in rush hour traffic). »2/09/15 8:50pm 2/09/15 8:50pm

I don't know which is the scariest part of this video, the lurking wave the hippo generates while underwater, its speed when it arcs out and shows its head, or the size of the sucker when you finally get to see its body. This is why you can't trust animals. »1/15/15 4:50pm 1/15/15 4:50pm

Why, you might be asking, do the other members of German third tier side Stuttgart Kickers react to Daniel Engelbrecht's not particularly impressive game-winning goal, scored in stoppage time, with such passion and joy? Well, it's because Engelbrecht is a real life zombie. »12/10/14 1:04pm 12/10/14 1:04pm
